Top hit song lyrics taken from the American music charts of 1930 to 1950

THIS COLLECTION INCLUDES the lyrics from 900+ top hit songs from the American Music Charts for the years 1930 to 1950. To view the lyrics click on the year of interest on the above nav bar. If you are interested in songs that were hits in England during the war years see our 1940s top songs collection. Also see our extensive older rock and pop songs with chords collection.

This collection is arranged by year, but please note that some songs were hits in more than one year, also that different artists had hits with different songs at different times. Where an option exists I have put the song on the page representing the latest year when that song was a hit. Note also that not all of the lyrics for the hits of each year are available.
